IC-R9000

Specifications    Prices

The IC-R9000 (IC-R9000E) is an all-mode, wide-band receiver that continuously covers a frequency range of 100 kHz to 2000 MHz. The most visible of the radio's many features is the multifunction 12.7cm (5 inch) CRT display. Receive frequencies, modes, and additional useful data are displayed for your operating convenience. The CRT functions as a spectrum scope to show you, at a glance, the relative signal strengths of nearby receive frequencies. The span of the spectrum scope can be selected for 50, 100 or 200 kHz according to your needs. 1000 memories store frequencies, mode, filter width and tuning step increments. Tuning steps from 10 Hz to 100 kHz, seven different scan modes with adjust scan speeds up to 13 channels/sec, interference rejection with IF-shift and notch filters, wide-narrow noise blanker, AFC, separate bass and treble controls, the squelch can operate by meter or noise level, dual clocks with two kinds of sleep timers and five independent daily timers. There are plenty of input and output jacks on the rear panel including four antenna connectors. Ideated in Japan, year of introduction 1989.
